Me 0 - Mantis 1

so i have a mantis shrimp hammering away at my tank whenever i seem to be away from it.

so i tried the 2 litre bottle trick and it hasn't captured my little hitch hiker. i put the bottle at about a 30 deg. angle up agiainst my LR and put a krill shrimp in it and left it there for 24 hours checking it about ever half hour wile i was up. the shrimp looked untouched. y'all said they shouldn't be able to swim back out so... y'all think it may be an issue of him getting in there?

or is there another method of catching mantis shrimp without removing all my LR?

do you know which rock he is in?

 

[bach2pilot]

If you can figure out which rock he's in you can get him out with a skewer...

Are you an E-6 guy? I flew S-3's in Jax and T-45's in Kingsville.

 

[txnavalavaitor]

no i'm not quite sure which rock he is in... i suppose i could just prod all of them...

and what the hell is a silverslide???


and yeah i'm an E-6B guy

txnavalavaitor,

Please don't skewer it. If you can catch it, I would take him off your hands. I live close by. Hell, I may help you catch him if you want.
